Dryers require regular maintenance. Follow the suggestions belovr to maintain your dryer properly.

Maintenance-every load

Cleaning the lint screen

The lint screen is located under a lid on top of
the dryer. Clean It before each load. A screen
blocked by lint can increase drying time.

1. Open the lid and pull the lint screen straight

out.

2. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers. Do

not rinse or wash the screen to remove lint.
Wet lint is hard to remove.

3. Push the lint screen firmly back into place

and close the lid.

Lint signal

(on soma models)

Restricted airflow reduces drying efficiency.

The signal (a whistle tone) lets you know If the
airflow is restricted.
• Turn off the dryer and clean the lint screen.

NOTE: Clean your lint screen before each
load. Do not wait for the lint signal. The lint

signal indicates excessive lint present on your
lint screen. If you wait for the lint signal before
you clean the lint screen, drying efficiency will
be reduced.

CAUTION

Product and Fabric Damage Hazard

Do not run the dryer with the lint screen
loose, dama ged, blocked or missing.
Doing so can cause overheating and

damage to both the dryer and fabrics.
